Super TestCar reviews - Ford - Falcon - SR sedanFord modelsThe Car19 Nov 2001 By BRUCE NEWTON THE Falcon SR came out a year after the AUII launch, the latter doing much to quell the negative reaction encountered by the AU Falcon. At the late-1998 launch Ford called AU a stunning example of its "New Edge" global styling theme, yet buyers stayed away in droves. The chief stylist was redeployed, replaced by an American, Scott Strong, who devised quick fixes to make the lower series cars, particularly Forte, look more upmarket. SR goes a small step further by adding a rear spoiler, side skirts, body coloured mirrors, side protection mouldings and grille, a chrome exhaust tip, 16-inch alloy wheels and SR decals. Did you know?The Falcon made its debut with the XK in September, 1960. At the time it was described as a "compact", as it was smaller than the family cars of the periodAll car reviewsAlfa Romeo Abarth Alpine Alpina Audi Aston Martin BMW Bentley Chevrolet Chery Citroen Chrysler Dodge Cupra Ferrari DS Ford Fiat FPV Foton GWM Great Wall Holden Haval HSV Honda Hyundai Hummer Isuzu Infiniti Jeep Jaguar Lamborghini Kia LDV Land Rover Lotus Lexus Maserati Mahindra McLaren Mazda Mercedes-Benz Mercedes-AMG Mini MG Nissan Mitsubishi Peugeot Opel Proton Porsche Renault Ram Rover Rolls-Royce Skoda Saab SsangYong Smart Suzuki Subaru Toyota Tesla Volvo Volkswagen |
